What is a Merrowed Border?
It's the beautiful finish edge of a sewn product.

In this case, we look at the Merrowed emblem edge:

Most people will agree that craft and skill is something to be appreciated. It's what makes the crown molding in turn-of-the-century homes a selling feature. It's what transforms the afghan knitted by your grandmother into an heirloom. It's why they install stained glass in churches. We see these things and know that they were forged by someone able to put tools to use in a novel way that only time and repetition can teach.

In that context, check out this video of an operator sewing an edge on an emblem with a Merrow MG-3U.

It's videos like this that illustrate why the MG-3U is installed in emblem factories around the world, and why the Merrowed edge is a noticeable mark of quality on important patches, badges, and insignias.

For more information read about the Emblem Machine, the MG-3U on the merrow website.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Tim and Rob from Hoffman Custom Embroidery in Maryland. Tim and Rob drove up for MG-3U training, and lead technician Justin Monteiro walked them through threading, looper bending, and emblem sewing over the course of a morning. We hope that Rob and Tim enjoyed being here as much as we enjoyed having them and look forward to hearing of the success they're having with their new MG-3U!
